Unleashing Diluc’s Full Potential: The Best Artifacts for a Crimson Witch DPS Build
Diluc, the Darknight Hero, is a powerhouse DPS character in Genshin Impact, known for his fiery attacks and consistent damage. To maximize his potential, a well-crafted artifact set is essential. The Crimson Witch of Flames set is a perfect fit for Diluc, boosting his Pyro damage and attack power, making him a true inferno on the battlefield.
Here’s a breakdown of the best artifacts for Diluc’s Crimson Witch DPS build, keeping in mind that some flexibility is always possible:
1. The Core: Crimson Witch of Flames (4 Piece)
- 2-Piece Bonus: +15% Pyro Damage Bonus
- 4-Piece Bonus: Increases Overloaded and Burning damage by 40%. After using an Elemental Skill, increases Pyro damage by 50% for 10 seconds.
This set is a must-have for Diluc. The 2-piece bonus gives a hefty boost to his Pyro damage, while the 4-piece bonus is where the magic happens. The increased Overloaded and Burning damage is fantastic for crowd control, while the 50% Pyro damage boost after using his Elemental Skill, "Darknight Hero," allows him to unleash devastating attacks.
2. Flower of Life (HP):
- Main Stat: HP%
- Sub-stats: Crit Rate, Crit Damage, ATK%
For your Flower of Life, aim for high HP% as the main stat. This will boost Diluc’s overall damage output. In terms of sub-stats, Crit Rate and Crit Damage are your priorities. ATK% is also a good option, but prioritize the critical stats first.
3. Plume of Death (ATK):
- Main Stat: ATK%
- Sub-stats: Crit Rate, Crit Damage, ATK%
The Plume of Death is all about maximizing Diluc’s base attack. Aim for ATK% as the main stat, and again, prioritize Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and ATK% for sub-stats.
4. Sands of Eon (ATK%):
- Main Stat: ATK%
- Sub-stats: Crit Rate, Crit Damage, Energy Recharge
This is another crucial artifact for boosting Diluc’s attack power. ATK% is the obvious choice for the main stat, and once again, prioritize Crit Rate and Crit Damage for sub-stats. Energy Recharge can be helpful if you’re struggling to generate enough energy for his burst, "Dawn," but focus on critical stats first.
5. Goblet of Eonothem (Pyro Damage Bonus):
- Main Stat: Pyro Damage Bonus
- Sub-stats: Crit Rate, Crit Damage, ATK%
The Goblet of Eonothem is the key to maximizing Diluc’s Pyro damage output. Aim for Pyro Damage Bonus as the main stat and prioritize Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and ATK% for sub-stats.
6. Circlet of Logos (Crit Rate/Crit Damage):
- Main Stat: Crit Rate OR Crit Damage
- Sub-stats: Crit Rate, Crit Damage, ATK%
This is where you need to make a decision based on your current artifact stats. If you’re lacking in Crit Rate, choose Crit Rate as the main stat. However, if you already have a decent Crit Rate, prioritize Crit Damage for an even higher damage boost.
Sub-stat Priorities:
- Crit Rate & Crit Damage: These stats are absolutely crucial for maximizing Diluc’s damage. Aim for a 1:2 ratio (e.g., 50% Crit Rate and 100% Crit Damage) for optimal damage output.
- ATK%: This stat is essential for boosting Diluc’s overall attack power.
- Energy Recharge: This is helpful for quickly recharging Diluc’s burst.
- Elemental Mastery: This stat can be helpful for certain team compositions that rely on elemental reactions, but it’s not a primary focus for Diluc’s DPS build.
Additional Tips:
- Artifact Farming: You’ll need to farm the domain "Hidden Palace of Liyue" (Monday, Thursday, Sunday) for the Crimson Witch set. Be prepared for a grind!
- Optimizing Sub-stats: Aim for as many Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and ATK% sub-stats as possible.
- Character Level & Talent Level: Don’t forget to level up Diluc and his talents for even more damage potential.
With the right artifacts and a bit of farming, you can unleash Diluc’s full fiery potential and make him a formidable force on the battlefield. Remember, consistency and patience are key in artifact farming. Good luck, and happy farming!
